Not long after the Spring Festival, the spring breeze is blowing. This year, there is little snowfall, and there is little snow, and the experienced farmers are all worried, but they are afraid that the coming year will be either drought or locusts.

Whenever this matter is mentioned, some young people will say disdainfully: "What can the drought locusts do, with Ye Langjun here, we are not afraid!" ”

Unconsciously, Ye Chang has become the backbone of ten miles and eight townships and even half of Xiuwu County, and if there are any disputes between the township and neighbors that are difficult to decide, the first thing I want to do is not to go to the county to fight a lawsuit, but to find Ye Chang to distinguish right from wrong.

This was originally the privilege of Liu Fengyin and other rural heroes, and now Ye Chang also has it.

"This is Wolong Valley?"

Yuan Zai, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, looked out of Wolong Valley with his hands behind his back, and Lu Yan, who was following him, pointed out the flow of people who came and went in front of the valley: "He is embarrassed to talk and laugh and have a great Confucian, and the chicken and egg sellers are wandering at his door!" ”

In Lu Yan's words, there was more envy and jealousy, and Yuan Zai glanced at him: "Have you read a book? ”

"I have been studying for a few years, but my family is humble and I can't continue."

"These people are all peddlers and pawns?"

"Not really, this Ye Chang is famous, and there are things that arbitrarily make country songs from time to time, and there are some fools and stupid women in the countryside who hand over some things that were originally in the yamen to him to deal with."

"It's a big rebellion, it's a big rebellion, a district of ordinary people, it's actually doing something that only the government can do!" Yuan Zai was furious, this was clearly robbing his job, and under the accumulation of hatred and resentment, he made up his mind, this time he wanted to peek out Ye Chang's hypocrisy, and if his family was ruined in the next step, he would not be this Shaofu!

As they looked in the distance, a group of men from the south approached. One of the men, riding on a tall horse, handsome in his face and with eyes like a falcon, sat on his horse and looked left and right, and saw the two of them.

"Brothers, look at the two of them over there, it's not embarrassing or embarrassing, it's not an official or a thief!"

Seeing Yuan Zai and Lu Yan, the handsome man smiled and said to the left and right.

The left and right also looked at Yuan Zai and Lu Yan, and one of them smiled and said, "Why did Brother Fei Jiang say this?" ”

"Sneaky, either an official or a thief. Let's work hard from Chang'an to Guangling, if we don't have this look, how dare we be this strong dragon across the river? ”

Everyone laughed, they were far away, so although the laughter reached Yuan Zai's ears, they couldn't hear what Yuan Zai was talking about.

One of them suddenly said: "Brother Feijiang, these two people are here, I'm afraid it's not good for Ye Langjun, right?" ”

"What Brother Mao'er said is, ask Ye Langjun later, see what kind of character it is, if it is an ordinary thief, it will be easy to cook. We all rely on Ye Langjun's mind to make a fortune, and whoever is not good for him will cut off our financial route! As the saying goes, cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents, brothers, you can easily earn a hundred and ten times when you are young, but you can't have it anywhere! ”

Everyone laughed easily, they were walking between black and white, and it was a big deal to clean up the two thieves!

They swaggered towards Wolong Valley, dressed gorgeously and with sturdy horses, which was naturally seen by Yuan Zai. Yuan Zai looked at the costumes of this group of people, and secretly wondered in his heart: how many of their clothing styles are quite similar to the recent popularity in Chang'an City, could it be someone from Chang'an?

When this group of people arrived at the mouth of Wolong Valley, they dismounted, and they seemed to be very respectful to Ye Chang, and soon after they made people feel good, they saw Ye Chang come out to greet them. Yuan Zai was afraid that Ye Chang would find out, so he avoided it from afar, he came to Weifu for a private visit this time, in order to prevent the officials from sending a messenger to report to Ye Changtongfeng, except for Lu Yan, no one else knew.

Ye Chang looked very surprised when he saw this group of people: "Brother Mao'er, there is still this...... Brother Feijiang, why are you here? ”

It was Jia Mao'er and Wang Qinian who came, but Wang Qinian helped Ye Chang do a big thing in Chang'an City, in order to avoid the government's investigation, he had changed his name and surname after arriving in Yangzhou, calling it "Dragon City", the word flying general.

Because of the correspondence with Ye Chang, Ye Chang only slowed down a little and called out his pseudonym.

Jia Maoer and Wang Qinian are now one in the south, one in the north, one in the west and one in the east, and are organizing football leagues in the two most prosperous cities in Datang. Needless to say, the Chang'an League has a considerable income, while the Yangzhou (Guangling) League is slightly inferior to Chang'an, but in the past six months, it has also brought more than 15,000 yuan to Wang Qinian and other organizers.

After deducting the money from all parties, Wang Qinian and others got more than 5,000 yuan, but more than Jia Mao'er got his own group, the main reason is that there are too many places to be dotted in Chang'an City.

"We have all received Ye Langjun's grace, if we don't come to Langjun to pay New Year's greetings, I am really uneasy. What's more, there are still many things to ask Lang Jun, so I came here to pay respects. Jia Mao'er smiled and said: "If Xiao Wu hadn't gone to serve under Wang Jiedu's account, he would have come here." ”

Ye Chang's heart moved, Xiao Bolang ran to play for Wang Zhongsi, promoting football among the soldiers in Shuofang Town controlled by Wang Zhongsi, and I don't know if he was doing well. If it is unsatisfactory, there will be people in Chang'an City who make rumors of Wang Zhong's heirs.

However, when they first met, Ye Chang naturally didn't say this, but said with a smile: "Shuofang scenery, I am also very willing to see it, but I have been busy with mundane affairs." It's the fifth brother who is happy, I heard that the Hu girl over there is the most pungent, and I don't know if the fifth brother can afford it......"

Everyone laughed, and the estrangement caused by not meeting for a while suddenly disappeared. Ye Chang beckoned them into the valley, because there were many people and the weather was good, so he spread felt futons on the flat ground outside the pavilion, and everyone sat on the ground, and wine and meat came up one after another.

"I just went out to see, that guy is still there, and it is really unfavorable to Ye Langjun." During the banquet, Jia Mao'er went out of the valley and went around, and then came back.

"Who?" Ye Chang was surprised.

"When I entered the valley, I saw the two of them standing on the ridge outside the valley and peeping into the valley, and their whereabouts were sneaky, like thieves." Wang Qinian said: "Ye Langjun is from a certain background, and he has done a lot of things like kidnapping, cheating, and cheating, and he can see at a glance that these two people are not treacherous. told the brothers, and Du Dao wanted to clean them up for Ye Langjun. ”

Ye Chang's heart moved, the one who dared to come to trouble at this time was undoubtedly Yuan Zai. It's just that the two don't know if it's Yuan Jae himself, or if it's someone he sent.

Ye Chang is by no means omniscient, and there is nothing different about Yuan Zai's appearance, he deduces from common sense that Yuan Zai has just taken over the affairs of the Yamen now, and he should be very busy, so these two people are the cronies he sent. Thinking of this, Ye Chang smiled and said: "The new Shaofu is Yuan Zai Yuan Gongfu who has been humiliated in Qinglong Temple, he has come to cultivate martial arts, and he always has to send someone to find some trouble." Presumably, these two should have been sent by him...... What is your brother's plan to take this breath for a certain person and make Yuan Zai suffer a dumb loss? ”

"It's funny, Ye Langjun is so talented and has no official position, but Yuan Zai, who is immoral and incompetent, became a county lieutenant? A small mansion will come to be the enemy of Ye Langjun, if we don't let him knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, he will be a man in vain! Wang Qinian was originally a good thing, and when he heard this reason, he immediately took the case and said.

They can't even take Jing Zhaoyin in Chang'an City in their eyes, just a county lieutenant, they really don't care. Moreover, the spirit of Chang'an rangers is extremely strong, and there are many people who kill people to avenge others, even the poet fairy Li Bai is said to have killed people on the street, not to mention these self-proclaimed rangers!

"You have to do it...... I don't know what the relationship between this Yuan Shaofu and the Ming Mansion of Guixian County is? "Wang Qinian's temperament is jumpy and jumpy, but he is extremely cunning in doing things, and he has been cheating in Chang'an City for many years without missing a shot, which is the key.

"This doesn't need to be asked, how can there be a harmonious Shaofu and Mingfu in this world, that is, the saint and the prince, they are not necessarily very close." Someone whispered.

They were bold enough to dare to say such things, Ye Chang smiled, stretched out his hand to signal not to talk nonsense, and then said: "Our Mingfu surname is Feng, but we are from Fufeng, with a name and a great name, a great uncle, and a ...... temperament Some cautious eyes. Because Yuan Zai has been in office for a long time, there is not much contact between the two. However, Feng Mingfu was bent on promotion, and now he didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the county, so the Shaofu was quite powerful. ”

"In this way, he is at least neutral, and this is what it is, if this surnamed Yuan is obedient and ugly, I want to come to your Ming Mansion and be optimistic, at least in the future, the surname Yuan will not be able to straighten up and speak in front of him." Wang Qinian patted the case, his eyes turned over everyone, and then pointed to one of them: "It's you!" ”

"What's wrong with me?"

"You're the best at it, you have to be!" Wang Qi was full of bad stomach, and immediately said the method he wanted, and everyone laughed, even Ye Chang, and couldn't help laughing.

Ye Chang didn't feel unbearable at all about repeatedly provoking himself Yuan Zai, this time he couldn't raise his head in Xiuwu County, and he also saved himself from using more drastic means.

But it was said that Yuan Zai and Lu Yan had been on the ridge for more than an hour, and he estimated the number of people entering and leaving Wolong Valley, and there were dozens of people in this more than an hour, many of whom came by big carts - a few years ago, the people contributed to connect Wolong Valley with the official road for Ye Chang, the road was flat and the roadbed was solid, enough for a large car to pull goods.

These are all copper coins for the cushion cushion!

Yuan Jae is used to being poor, and he has a stronger desire for money than others, and it is precisely because of this that he can stay on the ridge for more than an hour.

"Shaofu ......" Just when Yuan Zai was still unfinished and was about to continue watching, he suddenly heard Lu Yan exclaim.

Yuan Zai turned around, but before he could see clearly, he felt that it was dark in front of him, and something fell from the sky, so he covered his head. Yuan Jae was about to be called, when he suddenly felt a pain in his head, and was whipped with a stick, followed by a punch and kick.

"Catch the thief, catch the two thieves!"

Yuan Zai heard someone shouting, but he hadn't reacted at this time, so he said in a loud voice: "A certain non-thief, a certain non-thief!" ”

"And who are you?"

"A certain county lieutenant ...... this county"

"Hit, this guy is not only a thief, but also a liar!" Before he finished speaking, he heard someone shouting again.

"A certain is really a county lieutenant......"

"Is grandpa a fool, the county lieutenant and the young mansion go out on patrol, which one does not have a guard of honor, and the accompanying soldiers are not hundreds, there are always dozens, how can you two be sneaky? The son of a daughter, if you can't sit down, just you, the county lieutenant, the county lieutenant's and urine can't be the! ”

"Exactly, this county's Yuan Shaofu, we all know each other, you guys who look like dogs, dare to pretend to be?"

Lu Yan was also put in a pocket on his head, and he knew that the key at this time was to make the other party convinced of Yuan Zai's identity, and shouted at the moment: "He is really Yuan Shaofu......"

"You, you owe a beating!"

After a punch and kick, Lu Yan only felt pain all over his body, and maybe a few bones were broken. He cried and said, "I'm really not lying, he is really the ...... of the Yuan Shaofu of this county."

"Yuan Shaofu has been cultivating martial arts for several years, we have all seen it, Yuan Shaofu is slightly blessed, where is this skinny monkey?" I could only hear some of those people shouting, "Take it away, just hit it!" ”

It was another beating, so that Yuan Zai and Lu Yan couldn't speak. At the beginning, Yuan Zai thought that they were rural people, but he didn't know that the county lieutenant of Ludao had been changed, and he was the newly appointed Yuan Shaofu, not the outgoing Yuan Highway. But at this time, suspicions gradually arose: This place is too close to Ye Chang's Wolong Valley, could it be that these people are Ye Chang's envoys?

"Let's go!"

Whenever he wanted to speak, he was beaten and kicked in exchange for a beating, and then Yuan Zai came to his senses and simply didn't speak. I don't know how long I walked, but when I finally stopped, Yuan Zai only felt that his whole body was sore, and he collapsed on the ground as soon as he stopped.

"Get in the car!" When they had just finished the stall, they heard another command, and then several hands dragged them up and put them on a large cart, which seemed to have stakes still on it, and they were tied to the stakes.

"Dare to pretend to be Yuan Shaofu and send it to the official!" Someone shouted.

"Exactly, exactly, let the fake Yuan Shaofu see the real Yuan Shaofu!"

Hearing this, Yuan Zai was secretly happy in his heart, even if he lost face now, when he arrived at the county yamen, he would definitely be ten times more angry, these villains, if they don't kill a few, it will be difficult to solve the anger in his heart!

But then another person said: "Why bother so much, just kill and bury it in the field." ”

"See the official, I want to see the official." Yuan Zai suddenly panicked, and howled: "Spare my life, I'd rather see an official!" ”

"After all, it is a life, we are good people, this time we came to Wolong Valley Ye Langjun to pay New Year's greetings, it will be unlucky to hurt people's lives." Another person said: "It's better to strip naked and send it to the official, I see that the two of them are not badly dressed......"

"Ha Luha, sending these two people to the yamen is a scene!"

Everyone laughed gloatingly, and Yuan Zai was so frightened that his soul flew away, if this was the case, where would he still have the face to stay in martial arts?

"I am indeed the county lieutenant of Xiuwu, the original county lieutenant of Yuan has left his post, and I am newly appointed...... I have the seal of the county lieutenant in my sleeve, I don't believe you can see it! ”

He was in a hurry at this time, and he didn't care if the other party was sent by Ye Chang, the most important thing now was to prove his identity. As long as he can prove his identity, he believes that this group of people does not dare to kill officials, which means rebellion!

"Official seal?"

Someone in the group really came to search his sleeve, so they searched the official seal box tied in his sleeve pocket. When everyone saw this official seal, they couldn't help but be stunned, they thought it was just a thing sent by Yuan Zai, but they never thought that it was really Yuan Zai!
